Keep your dishwasher in shape
Respecting these few rules ensures you will always have a reliable work companion by your side.

Unplug the appliance.Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance on the dishwasher, always remove the plug from the electricity socket. Do not run risks.

If there are any stains on the surface of the appliance interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning product specifically made for dishwashers.
